An object that is in motion will not change its
velocity unless a force acts upon it. I know we learned that in high
school physics class. A car moving on a road needs two car lengths for
every ten miles per hour of speed to come to a complete stop.I know we
learned this in high school drivers ed class. So a car moving at 60
miles per hour needs 12 car lengths to stop without hitting the car in
front of it. Then why do I see so many people tail gating 3 or 4 feet
behind another car?
Maybe they have amnesia and think they are a race car driver at the
Indianapolis 500 weaving in and out to win the big prize trophy and
accolades! Perhaps they are brain surgeons with a patient being wheeled
into the OR in five minutes and they have to be there to perform life
saving surgery! It cannot be that they are just regular people going
home to do their mundane tasks and do not want to miss any of the
commercials on the TV set. Nobody would risk their life so
flippantly.Yes brain surgeons that must be it…
